Itβs peak oxalis season where I am.
Seemingly overnight, this clover-like weed pops up with no effort at all.
Just like bad habits.
They arrive uninvited and take hold fast.
Meanwhile, good habits β the ones we want to grow β seem to struggle.
Why is that?
Bad habits thrive because they're:
- Easy, and
- Immediately rewarding.
Good habits, by contrast, ask more of us.
They take effort. Time. Patience.
And the payoff? Often weeks or months away.
So how do you make good habits stick?
Set yourself up for success.
Plant according to the conditions.
Choose habits that are so doable, youβll stick with them even on the hard days.
And, donβt overload the garden.
Focus on planting one new habit at a time so you can give it the care it needs to take root.
